Athletics

Hughes Education
and Athletic Center (310) 243-3893

The CSU Dominguez
Hills athletics department has built a national reputation for athletic and
academic achievement, further solidified by the 2011 NCAA Track & Field
4x400 National Championship and the 2008 NCAA Men's Soccer National
Championship, the men's soccer program's second NCAA Title in an eight-year stretch,
which included both NSCAA National Coach and Player of the Year honors.

The Toros compete
nationally at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II
level, and are a member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association
(CCAA), recognized nationally as the NCAA Division II "Conference of
Champions," with 151 NCAA National Titles to date. Additionally, CSUDH is the only NCAA Division
II program to capture both men's and women's soccer titles after the Toros
women's soccer team garnered the first-ever NCAA National Championship for
CSUDH in 1991.

Away from the pitch,
a CCAA Conference high four Toro baseball players were drafted in the 2011
Major League Baseball draft, accounting for 27% of the league selections.

CSU
Dominguez Hills sponsors 11 intercollegiate athletic teams which serve
approximately 200 student-athletes: men's and women's basketball, men's and
women's soccer, men's golf, baseball, women's volleyball, softball, cross
country, and indoor/outdoor track and field. A source of even greater pride than the Toros' considerable athletic
achievements has been the success of Toro student-athletes in the
classroom. Toro student-athletes have
boasted three Rhodes Scholar candidates and two Rhodes Scholar finalists since
1987 while winning two prestigious Woody Hayes Scholar Athlete Awards, making
CSU Dominguez Hills one of just two schools in the nation with multiple award
winners.

In 2008-2009 alone,
the Toros boasted the CoSIDA/ESPN The
Magazine Academic All-American of the Year, as well as the CCAA Scholar-Athlete
of the Year, the first and third such honors won by the school,
respectively.

Athletic facilities
such as the Torodome (gymnasium), fitness center,
swimming pool, tennis courts, track and all-purpose field are available for use
by enrolled students, faculty and staff. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to use the facilities when
there is no conflict with classes or other scheduled events and approved supervision
is provided.

Information
concerning athletic opportunities available to male and female students and the
financial resources and personnel that CSU Dominguez Hills dedicates to its
men's and women's teams may be obtained from the Director of Athletics at (310)

Urban
Community
Research
Center

LIB G-521 (310) 243-3500

The Urban
Community Research Center (UCRC) was established in response to the dual need
for useful research in our surrounding urban communities and the need to
provide "hands on" applied research experience to our students. UCRC provides a
comprehensive applied research and analysis service to the Greater South Bay
Region and also operates a regional urban information system in support of the
research needs of surrounding communities in partnership with community
organizations and agencies. Faculty and their students conduct basic and
applied research on a wide variety of urban community conditions and problems
in response to the needs of communities in the
Los Angeles basin. The UCRC maintains a
cross-disciplinary approach to conducting research in the urban environment
supported by grants and contracts, while providing students with a "real-world"
(applied) research experience. Its research program is developed in cooperation
with community groups and agencies.

The research program
of UCRC concentrates on projects with direct application to the improvement of
a range of urban community conditions and needs in our region, thereby offering
faculty and students from diverse disciplines the opportunity to contribute to
collaborative research endeavors applied to satisfying those needs. Faculty and
students from any discipline are encouraged to develop research projects,
evaluations, and assessments in collaboration with community groups and
organizations, and government agencies, such as health, safety, planning and
community and economic development agencies and groups, and a variety of social
service agencies in the region, consistent with the mission of the Center to
produce useful knowledge in support of a better quality of life in urban
communities.

Faculty and students
interested in participating in or developing new UCRC research projects should
contact the Director, Dr. Matthew G. Mutchler.

Honors Program

SCC 300 (310) 243-3974

Program Description, Features
and Benefits

The Honors Program
offers high-achieving students a variety of opportunities for enriching their
undergraduate studies. Honors students receive the extra stimulation of a
special program while participating in the life of the campus at large. They
choose their own level of program involvement, while meeting and learning in
the company of their peers.

All components of
the program are designed to provide an atmosphere in which committed students
may strive for excellence and further the process of self-discovery, which is
the significant goal of a university education: "Education is not preparation
for life; education is life itself." (John Dewey)

Honors Program
students have priority registration privileges, priority consideration for
on-campus student housing, and use of the Honors Program computer lounge, and
first year and transfer students who are eligible for the Honors Program qualify for the President's Honors Scholarship.

General Education Honors Courses

In these classes,
highly motivated students work in the atmosphere of specially designated honors
sections of required General Education courses. Several different courses are
offered each semester so that in two years students can fulfill many of their
required courses. The courses are taught by outstanding instructors who
encourage students to participate actively in their own education.

Eligible students
may choose as many Honors courses in a given semester as they wish, although a
minimum of nine courses (out of the required eighteen) is required for the
Certificate of Honors in General Education. Each Honors course is specifically
noted on the student's transcript as an advantage when applying to graduate
school or for employment. These challenging courses provide the basis for a
strong liberal education in any major. Students not already members of the
Honors Program must receive special permission from the Honors Program coordinator
to enroll, on an exceptional basis, in an Honors course.

Upper Division, Honor Options

Several kinds of
upper division opportunities are available for Honors students:

Honors
Contracts enable a student to have the designation "Honors" appended to a given
upper division course by completing more sophisticated work than the instructor
is asking of the regularly enrolled students. With this option, the student,
with the consent and guidance of the instructor, can undertake Honors-level
study, and receive Honors credit in a non-Honors course. The Honors work
undertaken is in addition to, rather than instead of, the regular course
assignments.

The student and
faculty member agree at the beginning of the course on the nature of the work
to be done for Honors credit (examples might include pretesting lab
experiments, making one or more special presentations to the class, or creating
an annotated bibliography of materials). This agreement, its rationale, and its
means of evaluation, are specified on a proposal form submitted to the Honors
Program coordinator by the fifth week of the semester.

Special Seminar
courses are occasionally offered, in which Honors students in a particular
field of majors (e.g.,
School of
Management
students) focus on a topic of mutual interest.

Honors Scholars are
upper division Honors Program students who are eligible to apply as
"apprentices" to faculty members in their fields. Apprentices receive a stipend
for working with these faculty members on research or teaching-related
activities for a semester.

The Senior Honors
Thesis enables students to pursue an original project in an area of their
interest (usually within the major) culminating in a substantial written report
or other appropriate result. Students work under the guidance of a faculty
member in the area of interest. Successful completion of the thesis will be
noted on the student transcript. Students should inquire at the Honors Program
for guidelines and direction.

Eligibility

The program is
open to undergraduate students from throughout the University. Eligibility is
determined by grade point average, SAT scores, community service experience,
and personal interviews. Application forms are available in the program office,
SCC 300.
